Slide 1:

Geometry Formulas: Surface Area & Volume

Slide 2:

A formula is just a set of instructions. It tells you exactly what to do! All you have to do is look at the picture and identify the parts. Substitute numbers for the variables and do the math. That’s it! 

Slide 3:

Let’s start in the beginning… Before you can do surface area or volume, you have to know the following formulas. Rectangle A = lw Triangle A = ½ bh Circle A = π r ² C = πd

Slide 4:

You can tell the base and height of a triangle by finding the right angle: TRIANGLES

Slide 5:

CIRCLES You must know the difference between RADIUS and DIAMETER . r d

Slide 6:

Let’s start with a rectangular prism. Surface area can be done using the formula SA = 2 l w + 2 wl + 2 l w OR Either method will gve you the same answer. you can find the area for each surface and add them up. Volume of a rectangular prism is V = l wh

Slide 7:

Example: 7 cm 4 cm 8 cm Front/back 2(8)(4) = 64 Left/right 2(4)(7) = 56 Top/bottom 2(8)(7) = 112 Add them up! SA = 232 cm ² V = lwh V = 8(4)(7) V = 224 cm ³

Slide 8:

To find the surface area of a triangular prism you need to be able to imagine that you can take the prism apart like so: Notice there are TWO congruent triangles and THREE rectangles. The rectangles may or may not all be the same. Find each area, then add.

Slide 9:

Example: 8mm 9mm 6 mm 6mm Find the AREA of each SURFACE 1. Top or bottom triangle: A = ½ bh A = ½ (6)(6) A = 18 2. The two dark sides are the same. A = lw A = 6(9) A = 54 3. The back rectangle is different A = lw A = 8(9) A = 72 ADD THEM ALL UP! 18 + 18 + 54 + 54 + 72 SA = 216 mm ²

Slide 10:

SURFACE AREA of a CYLINDER. You can see that the surface is made up of two circles and a rectangle. The length of the rectangle is the same as the circumference of the circle! Imagine that you can open up a cylinder like so:

Slide 11:

EXAMPLE: Round to the nearest TENTH. Top or bottom circle A = πr ² A = π(3.1) ² A = π(9.61) A = 30.2 Rectangle C = length C = π d C = π(6.2) C = 19.5 Now the area A = lw A = 19.5(12) A = 234 Now add: 30.2 + 30.2 + 234 = SA = 294.4 in ²

Slide 12:

There is also a formula to find surface area of a cylinder. Some people find this way easier: SA = 2πrh + 2πr ² SA = 2 π(3.1)(12) + 2π(3.1) ² SA = 2 π (37.2) + 2π(9.61) SA = π(74.4) + π(19.2) SA = 233.7 + 60.4 SA = 294.1 in ² The answers are REALLY close, but not exactly the same. That’s because we rounded in the problem.

Slide 13:

Find the radius and height of the cylinder. Then “Plug and Chug”… Just plug in the numbers then do the math. Remember the order of operations and you’re ready to go. The formula tells you what to do!!!! 2πrh + 2πr ² means multiply 2( π)(r)(h) + 2(π)(r)(r)

Slide 14:

Volume of Prisms or Cylinders You already know how to find the volume of a rectangular prism: V = lwh The new formulas you need are: Triangular Prism V = ( ½ bh )(H) h = the height of the triangle and H = the height of the cylinder Cylinder V = ( πr ² )(H)

Slide 15:

Volume of a Triangular Prism We used this drawing for our surface area example. Now we will find the volume. V = ( ½ bh )(H) V = ½(6)(6)( 9 ) V = 162 mm ³ This is a right triangle, so the sides are also the base and height. Height of the prism

Slide 16:

Try one: Can you see the triangular bases? V = ( ½ bh )(H) V = ( ½)(12)(8)(18) V = 864 cm ³ Notice the prism is on its side. 18 cm is the HEIGHT of the prism. Picture if you turned it upward and you can see why it’s called “height”.

Slide 17:

V = ( πr ² )(H) V = ( π)(3.1 ² )(12) V = ( π)(3.1)(3.1)(12) V = 396.3 in ³ Volume of a Cylinder We used this drawing for our surface area example. Now we will find the volume. optional step!

Slide 18:

Try one: 10 m d = 8 m V = (πr ²)(H) V = (π)(4 ²)(10) V = (π)(16)(10) V = 502.7 m ³ Since d = 8, then r = 4 r ² = 4² = 4(4) = 16

Slide 19:

Here are the formulas you will need to know: A = lw SA = 2πrh + 2πr ² A = ½ bh V = ( ½ bh )(H) A = π r ² V = (πr ²)(H) C = πd and how to find the surface area of a prism by adding up the areas of all the surfaces
